The Hanshus?! Luna had an instant headache when she learned the truth. “Luna!” Harry came rushing into her office with a bitter look on his face. “The shareholders got together and demanded a meeting. They don’t seem too happy. What is going on?” Luna’s heart skipped a beat. She had yet to come up with a solution to deal with the banks, but the shareholders were already teaming up against her internally. What a headache! Luna went over to the meeting room. She updated Harry about what happened with the banks, and Harry’s expression turned even more terrible. “Luna, we want out!” The shareholders made a racket when she came into the meeting room. “Yeah! We want out!” “We can’t do this anymore!” “New Moon Corporation is finished!” “Hurry up and get on with it!” Luna’s expression turned bitter. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and said politely, “Listen to me. The Valiant Institute project has already started, so as long as…” “There’s nothing else you c
Sonia Timberland? Andrius was surprised. The girl that Noir saved last night? When Fatty Frank and the whole department heard of the news, they became restless. “A-are you sure?” “Am I hearing it right?” Fatty Frank swallowed and looked inconceivable. “Angel, are you saying that one of the big three families in Sumeria, the Timberlands, the granddaughter of Bruce Timberland, Sonia Timberland is here to invest in our company?” “Yeah!” Angel said with utmost certainty, “Sonia Timberland! You heard me right! And I’m sure I got the right person. I saw her heading to Luna’s office!” Her words assured the rest of the team, but it also confused them. “The Timberlands… Any one of their subsidiaries is stronger than our company, yet they come to us with an investment…” “The influential Timberlands come here just to invest in our company? How strange.” “Yeah, it’s bizarre.” The group was more confused than before as they pondered. Fatty Frank then asked Andrius, “Boss,
“A billion…” Sonia knew exactly why Luna was shocked. She smiled and added, “I just want the shares, not the equity.” Luna was stunned. Without equity, Sonia would have no power on the board and be unable to participate in making important decisions. As stated, she would only get bonus shares from the company profit, which was incredibly lenient toward Luna’s situation. “Ms. Timberland. I…” Luna was flattered and flabbergasted. She could not believe Sonia at first. “Are you serious?” Sonia smiled. “Of course, I am serious. I even brought the contract.” She texted her secretary who shortly came in with a document for Luna. Luna had a look at the contract which was as Sonia said. “Ms. Crestfall, if there’s no problem, please sign it.” Sonia was here to repay Andrius, so there was no reason for her to tinker with the contract. “Okay! Right away!” Luna immediately signed the contract. “And…” Sonia took the signed contract and gave it to her secretary. “A few days late
“What is it?” Andrius yawned as he opened the door. “Look at this!” Halle showed him her phone after a few taps on the screen. When Andrius glanced at it, he instantly woke up. It was an article with the headline spelling “Rich Timberland’s New Handsome Sugarbaby”. Together with the article was a picture from Artemis Clinic. It was taken the night before yesterday when Sonia had shoved the bank card into Andrius’ face. Even though Andrius did not face the camera, a man as attractive as him was the only light in the dark. Anyone who knew his personality would recognize him at first glance. There was a whole essay attached underneath with almost a thousand words. The article described it so vividly that it felt like it really happened. “What the f*ck? Which jerk took this picture? This is slander! The article is accusing me!” Andrius was stunned by the disbelief. “How would I know?” Halle rolled her eyes at him. She added, “I was with Luna yesterday, and when she woke u
Andrius went online again, and the article was gone. …When Andrius arrived at Team Five’s office, Luna was already waiting for him there. “Andrius, a word in my office,” she said coldly before she stormed into her office. Her heels clacked loudly, obvious signs that she was furious. Andrius was speechless. He simply followed her into the office. Bang! Luna slammed the door shut. Her delicate face was frosty. “Andrius, explain the investment from Sonia Timberland.” Andrius sighed. “I guess she just wanted to invest?” “Stop bluffing!” Luna questioned him with a straight face, “Are you… illicitly involved with her? Or else why did she invest in our company and not ask for equity? She’s literally giving us money. If you have nothing to do with her, why would she do that?” She became angrier as she continued. Her chest heaved strongly and her breathing turned loud. Illicitly involved? It must be another way of calling him a sugar baby. Andrius was aggrieved. He expla
Solomon was in the Hanshus’ living hall, looking around with a bitter gaze. A few days ago, he met with Wayman and agreed to work together. He thought by killing Andrius, he would be able to take over New Moon Corporation for sure. To his surprise, the notorious Scarface died in Andrius’ hands. The Hanshus went after New Moon Corporation, but then the Timberlands intervened and gave Luna a billion worth of investment. The Timberlands saved the Crestfalls and prolonged their lifespan! Now, Sonia Timberland even invited Luna and Andrius to attend her birthday party. What the hell happened? When Solomon got the news, he came to the Hanshus right away to discuss a plan with Wayman. A while later, Wayman came out. He glanced at Solomon, who had a terrible expression on his face. “Mr. Stormbrew, you look terrible.” “Master Hanshu…” Solomon nervously asked, “Is New Moon Corporation close to the Timberlands?” If Luna had gotten the Timberlands to side with her, then Solomon w
While her outstanding looks awed every guest that arrived, it also raised a question in their hearts. Who was so important that Sonia had to wait eagerly at the main entrance herself? A while later, a car arrived at the main entrance. luna and Andrius came down from the car. Sonia went up and welcomed them with a bright smile. “Mr. Moonshade, Ms. Crestfall, you guys are here!” Sonia gestured and invited them inside. “This way!” The three of them entered the hotel. The scene shocked everyone. Sonia was waiting for them? Luna was the beautiful CEO of New Moon Corporation, and she had quite the reputation in Sumeria, but Andrius? To the public, Andrius was just a nameless guy, so why would Sonia welcome him herself? Even though he looked rather handsome after wearing the suit Luna bought for him, appearances were not enough nowadays. However, there were people who saw the morning news, and when they looked at Andrius, they sensed something different from the man. It
Behind Kevin was a team of photographers, a boy as the ringbearer and a girl as the flower girl, plus a whole bunch of people. It looked official and grand. When Kevin’s words subsided, thunderous applause sounded. The people who he paid off started to cheer and applaud loudly. “This is so romantic!” “I’m so jealous! Ms. Timberland is really the happiest woman on earth!” “If I’m Ms. Timberland, I might cry a river!” “Marry him, Ms. Timberland!” “Marry him!” The crowd was ceaseless with their merriments. The cheers and comments, plus the crowd pressure pushed Sonia under the spotlight. The crowd then cheered louder en masse. If Sonia rejected Kevin, she would be identified as a cold and heartless woman, a woman who could not read the room. Sonia was in a delighted mood today. She invited Andrius to the event because she thought of advancing on him. However, with Kevin pulling this fiasco in front of her and Andrius, everything was messed up. She got to her fe
